    People don’t like it when you lick the peanut butter off the knife and then stick that same knife into the jelly jar then lick the knife again before putting it in the sink.

    My mind was blown, and I still have a hard time with Sunday being the beginning of the week and not Monday...according to calendars anyhow...how is part of the "weekend " the "week start?"
    ...too literal or something—I am, I know—but it just confuses my brain

    Infinity is not a number but a concept. There are different sizes of infinity. For example, these are all technically true:

    ♾ + ♾ = ♾
    ♾ x ♾ = ♾
    ♾ - 1 = ♾
    ♾ + 1 = ♾

    There are more numbers between 0 and 1 than there are whole numbers at all. The number of whole numbers is infinite but it’s also the smallest infinite number. The number of irrational numbers between 0 and 1 is 2^♾, which is a bigger infinity.

    Infinity is a mindfook

    I'm so glad you wrote this on pi day and also check out aleph null number sets

    I did earlier 😅

    Edit: totally didn’t realize the date today!

    There are a number of chemicals that give a false positive on a presumptive test for blood, including, of all things, bleach. Don't clean a bloody crime scene with bleach, boys and girls! :D
